Sun Decides To Shine Longer

Boston, MA – As there are only 33 days til daylight savings time, an unusual weather event occurred yesterday.  Sunrise came at normal time as expected. Sunset, however, ran behind schedule by about 4 hours!  Sunset was schedule for 5:03pm but shocked scientists everywhere by not beginning to set until 9:12pm. 

We brought in meteorologist, Dana Wrane to attempt to explain the situation.  “Well there really is no justifiable explanation for what has happened, however, we do have several hypotheses on the matter.  For starters, it is possible the sun and the moon got together to play a prank on the world.  It is not taught in schools; however, research has proved that the sun and moon have an excellent sense of humor.  It is also possible that the sun was getting a little jealous of the moon.  As we know, when daylight savings time ends, those in the U.S. get to see the moon for longer periods of time than the sun.  The sun could have been getting impatient and didn't want to wait until March 10^th to begin shining longer and therefore decided to shine longer sooner.”

It appears that someone needs to question meteorologist, Dana Wrane’s education on meteorology, as none of his explanations make any sense.  We also interviewed several local residents about the extra sunshine.

“I have no idea how it happened, but I love it!  I got to spend extra time outside today on my garden,” said Barbara Jackson.

“I think it’s a blessing that this happened.  It’s a miracle!” spoke Erica Blake of South Boston, MA.
